On page 52 the author asks, "He sought my pity, but had he any right to pity? Did a man of his kind deserve anybody's pity?"
On your blogs, answer these questions in a PEE paragraph. Argue for or against pity for this man. Use text from the book to support your answer. Remember to use pathos in order to persuade your audience. (Remember to use a colon!)
Previously in a discussion I stated that I would forgive a soldier in certain situations. In this case, I don't believe I support the fact of forgiveness. In the story the man states, "When the war broke out I volunteered, naturally in the SS." He had a choice whether or not to commit to whatever the military would ask him to do. He chose to follow his commands. Therefore, I believe that this man does not deserve forgiveness. There were two lifestyles he could have chosen: safe and peaceful or hard and gruesome. He chose the road less travelled by. That is his own fault.
